Adapted to all levels, foreign language training in pairs / trios via videoconference is recommended for professionals wishing to maintain and consolidate their language skills in a friendly environment.
Training in pairs or groups of three offers the following advantages benefits of private classes combined with those of virtual classes. Learners are grouped by level, and exchanges between two or three people make it possible to role-play authentic professional situations. The format encourages active and constant participation and personalized content. These courses are adapted to an extensive rhythm, enabling long-term progress.
Compared with face-to-face training, these small group video-conference training sessions offer greater organizational flexibility. This makes it easier to schedule classes when all participants are available. The online sessions use screen sharing (e.g. for document sharing) and offer just as much structure andinteraction as face-to-face training. Moreover, the video call format is particularly well-suited to professionals who often work on projects via videoconference as they can role-play situations that reflect their day-to-day experiences..

The learner's training objective and the outcomes they are looking for determine the type of content that will be covered during the course.
The content is defined by the teacher, taking into account the learner's specific needs as identified during their initial assessment and at their first class, and the context as described by the training department.
Through role-play, e-learning activities, viewing video extracts or drafting professional documents, the teacher facilitates entertaining, interactive exercises to improve mastery of the target language.

How our language courses are organized:
Following registration, each learner has a telephone interview to confirm their objectives, assess their language level and personalize their training. Then, depending on the format chosen, courses can be held remotely, at your company's premises, or at the BTL training center in Paris VIII.
Courses are scheduled either :
-
On a regular basis over several weeks, between 1h30 and 2h per week for face-to-face teaching or between 30min and 1h per week for distance learning, at a time that suits the learner.
- Over a short, intensive period, at a time of year when the learner is more available - e.g. 5 half-days of training in a row.
The BTL planning team works with the learner to define the course dates depending on their availability and preferred frequency.
In the event of unforeseen circumstances, the learner may postpone any scheduled session, provided they respect the cancellation deadline as stipulated at the start of the course.
These videoconference courses are open to all levels. Training is personalized: the learner's level determines the course program, not the other way round. For absolute beginners, we recommend the "general professional language" pathway. This pedagogical orientation enables you to learn and consolidate the fundamentals of the language. The sector-specific pathway is designed for those who can already express themselves a little in the target language, or who have an intermediate level.
Please note that the Blended Learning option with 7Speaking is recommended for intermediate level and above. Please contact us for alternative solutions.
